"I understand there are going to be a lot of people who ... miss out on tickets because this is at the Odyssey and not Windsor or an outdoor venue," Frampton said. "I'm extremely disappointed for the people. I wanted this to be in a big arena but it just wasn't to be this time.

"I desperately want to fight at Windsor Park at some time in the future. That's what I want to do and I think that's what the team are working closely ... for people who do miss out on tickets to maybe try and erect a big screen somewhere in the city centre for fans to watch.

"I know people have travelled to New York and Las Vegas and I have a loyal fanbase here - it's just unfortunate that some people are going to miss out on tickets but there's nothing we can do about it this time, and I apologise."
